      Is it the law, that every news article laying bare the UK governments failings towards our most vulnerable people, has to be published during the dead of night?

      The country seriously needs a major turnaround overhaul to move away from where we’re heading.

      I still fail to understand how we’ve managed to kick the can down the road for so long.

      Here are the population growth and housing statistics from the last 45 years:

      * 1981-2001 – 3.2 million dwellings built, population increases 2.6 million

      * 2001-2021 – 3.7 million dwellings built, population increases 7.1 million – population growth 3x increase, housing growth 1.2x increase

      * 2021-2024 – 0.7 million dwellings built, population increases 2.3 million – population growth 6x increase, housing growth 1.4x increase

      The population went up a similar amount in three years of the Boriswave as in the entirety of the 80s and 90s combined, but we built 2.5 million fewer houses.
